What a Tuel

How in the world do you blame a fumbled snap and a game losing INT on McDermott? At some point you have to ask yourself, how much of Allen's career are you going to crusade against McDermott?

Stop. Just stop. It is simply not true. "but playoffs" is a two game sample size in which we had far more than a 5% chance to win one of the two so what are you even talking about?

You are correct, it is a lot and by far. We don't typically run a lot on the goal line. It may actually be a reason for our redzone dilemma. Teams just know they have to get to Allen wherever he is. Not an exact science since some of these qbs missed games/were replaced, but generally the way you claim it is.

No one is suggesting we coast. You also need the context of the poster to understand that this isn't a random person creating a topic of discussion. This is a troll who loves to discuss the potential of the Bills failing and the Dolphins rising. #1 seed might now be a pipe dream with 6 games left against teams currently with winning record Tua impressing in Miami Is there any circumstances you would move on from McDermott after 2022? Quietly the Dolphins are the 2nd hottest team in the AFC right now (2021) Time to go on record if you honestly believe this is still a SB caliber team or even a playoff team at this point (2021)

"But not playoffs" he will say. "Playoffs we are 0-2 man! We lost 2 playoff games in Arrowhead, there is just no way we can win there." They insist on this sample size of two games (one of which we had in hand) to demonstrate that we just cant win there. Would home field advantage be ideal? Absolutely. Is arrowhead this terrifying monster we can't win in? Absolutely not.

My god you love posting like this. Any real shot? Are you kidding me? This vaunted arrowhead crap needs to stop. Yes we got beat at arrowhead once. The 2nd game we lost on a fluke situation. It is not a given that we will lose in arrowhead again. Say what you want about the Texans (Allens first playoff game) and Jaguars games (No Allen), but the constant need for you to build this into some sort of trend is sickening. Just stop. The attempt to build anti Bills staff/player narratives by him is astounding. It is why most believe he is a fish fan trolling.

The roster is extremely talented, its not even debatable. The naysayers on this forum love to rag on the roster of the 6-2 Bills but hype up the rosters of the 3-5 Browns and 2-6 Lions. I love the finding losses thing because the same argument was made about the Patriots last year. New England goes on a 7 game win streak and half of the fans on here were ready to cede the division because there's no way the 9-4 pats would drop two of four remaining games and lose the division to the 7-5 Bills. I mean they have the Jaguars (L), Bills who they beat already throwing the ball just 3 times!! (L) and the Dolphins (L)!!! Now I get the Chiefs are different from the pats but they lost to a Matt Ryan led Colts, and struggled pretty hard against the Titans. They could drop a couple of the next 9 games. No idea who, but its possible. Rams could show up, Bengals could show up, Seahawks could show up, Chargers could show up. Hell even the Jaguars could show up. People are just speculating. 4 weeks might as well be 4 hours or 4 years for all anyone knows.

I think thats a gross misinterpretation. He didn't say he threw it blind, he said he thought the DB was "sucked in" and Knox was by himself. It just so happened that the DE obscured the DB. Should he have seen it? Of course. Still I don't agree that the majority of these are bc he is trying to move mountains rather than taking what's given to him. Just a series of poor decisions.

There seems to be debate about whether injuring it further is possible. They clearly won't play him if there is risk to injure it further, but if the risk of a tear is the same with the injury and without then he can certainly play.

Yeah, and the jets one he was taking what the jets gave him (Knox) but did not see the defender. The Davis one seemed like a miscommuncation. I think only one of the 4 ints was actually Allen trying to make things out of nothing and messing up.

What do you mean? 2 of the 4 ints were short passes....

There is no way he said this. Quote the actual interview or I don't believe it.

Take away the 2 ints and the 14-3 ends up being a blow out for sure.

The fact that they didn't replay it on TV was a huge indication on how bad of a call it was.

It isn't? Even in your tying scenario which ultimately winning games stops us from tying first and foremost, then common games are just the 3rd tie breaking scenario. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs). Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games. Dolphins lost to the vikings Jets play the Vikings in Dec So although NFC games "in a tie scenario" are less important, they are still common games played.

All they think about is tying lol. The goal is to ultimately have the better record which can only occur if you....win games.

Miami and NYJ do not have the tie breaker over the Bills until the 2nd game is played. In reality the Bills have the edge with one less loss than either. Could that change? Sure. But i can't help but remember this stupid ass clip and think why are Bills fans this way about their own team? (At least these were NE fans). Have some damn hope and stop clinging to some "down to earth" reality about something you can't predict with any kind of accuracy, or you'd be extremely rich on the betting apps.

I've heard every range of "gut feeling" from playing sunday to out for the year. And of course someone is going to be right and say "see i knew it!"

Its off topic but do we really want someone who will lose interest the moment the team faces adversity anyway then? I keep hearing this "shifting to whoever is winning" nonsense and while I can understand money calling, I cant understand that. I don't want that on my team bc what if we have a loss like yesterday and he is here? Drama time?

If you've been on here for years then you'd know the routine for certain posters. They know when to troll like this.

I am not sure how you correct team building philosphy and coaching without making changes to coaching which usually results in rebuild mode. I just don't think its #1 seed or bust for McDermott. I think they have built a successful franchise that so long as it consistently competes, we should let it do its thing. Obviously, the ultimate goal is a super bowl and I think we will get there, but I absolutely don't think our chances get better making such changes.

Bc I snubbed my new salute to service hoodie bc it was green and I ceded the color green to the Jets. Should've worn whatever the heck I wanted.

But we were good enough to win on the road in Arrowhead. We had an epic failure on what should have been a won game. Look I am not arguing that home field advantage wouldn't be beneficial, I am just wondering what you all think the end to the story is if we don't ever get home field advantage? Like OP states, are we burning it all down if we don't?

When did you see this story before? Last year when we got beat by the Jags, or routed by the Colts? I mean....that didnt translate to a lost season but instead we had a good playoff run that ended on a very flukey scenario.

Why would we lose at arrowhead for a 3rd year? We lost one handily. We lost the 2nd one in a tossup. Home field advantage is great and I want it but you guys act like we have zero chance at arrowhead based on a sample size of 2. You forgot how much we are missing Daboll, and Dorsey isnt the guy!
